The correct answer is B

The genetic codes language in all living organisms is the same. This is to say that the molecules of life namely DNA and RNA share the same make up in all living things .

There are five types of nucleotides in nature which are the building blocks of RNA and DNA and these are the same in all living organisms . These nucleotides are Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine and Uracil.

According to base pairing rules, in all DNA molecules Adenine will always pair with Thymine while Guanine will always pair with Cytosine.

This  rule is the same with RNA except that here Thymine is replaced with Uracil.  Otherwise the base pairing rule applies in all living organisms, that is to say it is universal.

Materials are able to move across a cell membrane through one of two methods: active transport or passive transport. What is the
zloy xaker [14]
Essentially the answer is in the names. Active transport requires energy to facilitate to movement of the materials while passive transport is something like osmosis which is when the material moves based on concentration in an effort to create equality between the two sides. Basically passive is when the materials move under the own power.

Genetic diversity is ultimately/mainly the result of _______________
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

A. meiosis.

Explanation:

Meiosis is one of the two major types of cell divisions in living organisms. Meiosis is the process by which four daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cell are produced. Meiotic process is carried out solely during sexual reproduction to yield gametes or sex cells.

The gametes have their chromosomal number reduced by half during the process. However, one immense importance of meiosis is that it PROMOTES GENETIC DIVERSITY. A process called crossing over, which is the exchange of chromosomal segment between non sister chromatids, makes this possible.

Explain why inmates who have been in the dark cell for quite long usually have problems with their eyes and usually squint when
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

No one can see in total darkness. Fortunately, there’s almost always some light available. Even if it’s only dim starlight, that’s enough for your eyes to detect. What’s truly amazing is how little light is required for you to see.

Human eyes have two main features that help us see better in low light: the pupil’s ability to change size, and the eye’s two types of light-sensing cells.

Opening up to let in more light

Your pupils are the black areas at the front of your eyes that let light enter. They look black because the light that reaches them is absorbed inside the eyeball. It’s then converted by your brain into your perceptions of the world.

You’ve probably noticed that pupils can change size in response to light. Outside on a bright sunny day, your pupils become very small. This lets less light into the eye since there’s plenty available
